[REL] Bugfix patch 1.17

Latest news: balance patch is in the make.

Titan Quest bugfix patch 1.17a

About the patch
Titan Quest, and its expansion set, Immortal Throne, were the flagship products of IronLore Entertainment. Unfortunately, the studio has since closed down and there will be no more fixes or additions to the already great game.

This is where the Fanpatch comes in; the Fanpatch fixes many remaining bugs and flaws within the game and is the culmination of the hard work of many modders from www.titanquest.net. The goal of the patch is to ensure that even though IronLore has closed its doors, Titan Quest will be continually updated through the efforts of its fans.

The patch tries its best to fix the game such as to the intent of the designers and does not make any balancing changes or creative changes (unless as necessary for the resolution of a particular problem).

If you use this patch online, we would request you to put 1.17 somewhere in your name, so people can recognize you're using the fanpatch - thus preventing matching errors (1.17 users can see 1.1 users, but get an error when trying to connect).

Download locations

Notice: The patch 1.17a installer triggers some virus detection software and gives false positives. There is no virus or trojan in the patch. This statement applies to the following download locations. If you have further concerns about the warning, or need further reassurance before installing, do not install the patch.

Additional Features of v1.17
o AllSkins mod: a version of the AllSkins mod 0.8 has been included on the 1.17 fanpatch. That means that all the skin bottles from the latest AllSkins mod 0.8 have been added so players can see each others' skins online and trade bottles, and we've also included optional vendors so that players can purchase skin bottles from all versions, past and present, of the AllSkins mod inside the main game. To access this option, use the menu's "Unlock Content" button and type in this code: 123. This will drop 2 artifacts, each of which will spawn the appropriate vendor when equipped. Additionaly, we also included specialty skin vendors for adult skins, dress-mesh skins, and skirtless-mesh skins (unlock code: 12345). Note: a player must be using the dress mesh or skirtless mesh in order to properly display skins purchased from those vendors (found in AllSkins 0.8). Also, summoned vendors will not disappear until you exit the game, so we recommend summoning them in a city.

o Custom Item Support: items from some custom-game mods have been included in the patch to prevent their loss when accidentally loading a custom-game character into a different mod or into the regular game. If you bring these items into the original game, they will appear in your inventory as unusable parchments until returned to the originating mod.

If you have a mod with new items, and would like take advantage of the custom-item support in the next fanpatch, register on titanquest.net and go to the fan patch forums to request your mod's inclusion:

Skills
- Coredweller now casts Taunt when in agressive mode
- Mortal Wound now has consistent increase levelling up.
- Ravages of Time icon is now replaced with a square to show it's an active skill
- Vision of Death now properly causes all successfully feared monsters to flee instead of sometimes getting stuck
- Liche King's Arcane Blast can now be used if the Liche is lower than level 5

Miscellaneous
- Persephone's mesh is now fixed
- Near invisible projectiles on staffs without base damage are now replaced by a more visible projectile

Quests
- The attribute points you get from the Great Emperor are no longer forfeited if miss your opportunity to talk to the emperor's ghost.
- Hades Generals quest reward now finally works.
- Stygian Lurker quest reward can now be regained.
- Hidden Treasure quest no longer gives incorrect experience if you complete quest before talking to quest giver.

Note: All changed quests will no longer be visible in your quest log. The game will check your character when you load a game in 1.1.16 and let you know if your character has any missing quest rewards and give you a one-time message telling you to visit Laches at the Helos portal, who will recover your missing rewards and restore your quest log entries (though other rewards previously obtained on those quests will not be displayed). For more information about Quest Reward Recovery, visit the bugfix forums at titanquest.net:http://www.titanquest.net/forums/bugfix-fanpatch/

Other bugs
- Misspellings in the EN version
- Talos, Hydra and Megalesios do not drop armgear in Legendary. They drop 2x the amount of headgear instead.

Bugs fixed in beta patch v1.1.13 and beforeBugged skills
- Ravages of Time does not reduce damage.
- Nymph actually does less damage on level 19 and 20.
- The minus physical damage from Fatigue is totally messed up
- Pets aren't able to use petskills above their max level
- Level 11 and 12 of Reflection yield no increase
- Ternion Attack,the skill of "Spirit Mastery" will not take advantage of the
"projectile speed bonus" witch Arcane Lore offered.
- Triumph does not reduce damage

Bugged items
- Homados/Barbarian's Spiked greaves gives a wrong bonus
- Some damage bonuses don't work correctly. As can be seen in the editor, they should give two bonuses, but only one displays (and works). It concerns the following suffixes: "of Destruction, "of Carnage", "of Devastation" and "of Annihilation".
- Normal affixes on equipment in Epic/Legendary
- Epic Herakles relics give better bonuses than Legendary ones
- The +%Armor Protection completion bonus for Theban and Battlemage sets does work, but does not display correctly.
- Armour on Ismene's Bracers is not given
- The diseased plumage and venom sac charms sometimes don't yield a completion bonus.
- -%recharge and -%energy cost on Divine scroll of Archmages Fury doesn't work.
- Schlilsh's Skinner (MI sword of the swamp Anourans); the bleeding damage it does is messed up across the difficulties
- Affixes that grant a -%recharge bonus don't work.
- Erebus Crystal completion bonus mixes up Legendary with normal bonus
- Overseer's Crest should give +2 to earth enchantment but doesn't.
- Golden Fleece doesn't give the right amount of -%energy cost cost.

Unofficial patch bugs
- Leonidas (NPC from Sparta/Athens) is frozen in patch 1.12RC
- hopefully fixed all the not moving npc/monsters, the animation files were removed from a lot of the dbr's in xxdxxd's collection of fixes that luedtke added to the patch
- Some mobs became rather powerful with patch 1.12RC, so some of their items were removed again

Performance bugs
- Tower of Judgment entrance is stuttering, which causes lagging.
- The Crystal room stuttering causes lagging.
- The game files were organized better to give a small perfomance increment

Additional Features
- The skins of the AllSkins Mod were included in the patch. This enables you to see many skins on multiplayer and be able to trade the skin bottles from other players and apply them. To use these skins yourself use the artifacts referred earlier in this post to create the vendors on the game or use the AllSkins mod.

Troubleshooting

If you can't get the installer to work, make sure you don't have any mods installed that affect the files in the TQIT root directory (or use mods through Defiler, as that adjusts .dll files). If that's not the case, direct the installer to your TQIT root directory (e.g. c:\Program Files\Titan Quest Immortal Throne) and start it. If that doesn't work we advice a reinstall.

Avast Antivirus could give a warning that it detected a trojan. This is a false positive, which happens a lot on anti-virus programs. For more info, click here

FAQQ. Will this patch make the game easier or harder?A. The balance of the game is untouched, we choose to only fix the obvious bugs for this game. There won't be a big impact for most players.

I'm not able to play online anymore! I get a message that I have to update.
You can only play multiplayer if other people have the same version as you (i.e. the fanpatch). Either convince the others to also use the fanpatch, or use the uninstaller (which is conveniently included with the installer) if you play online.

Q. Ravages of Time is still broken!A. You have to activate it manually now, like the Deathchill Aura. We transformed the circle to a square to indicate it's an active skill now.

Q. Some skills can't be raised above their max level, even with +skills.. (e.g. Triumph, Strength of the Pack, Overgrowth, etc..).A. This is a workaround to fix a nasty problem: pets would not use skills above the max level of these skills. By increasing the max level by 4 (without increasing the cap), the pets are now able to use these skills above their previous max levels.

Q. I get this "grants skills" with -%recharge on it, what's the deal with that?A. Previously, affixes that granted -%recharge would simply not work, to make the -%recharge on these affixes work again, we introduced a "grant skill" work-around for it.

Q. Will characters who have completed the Lurker's quest or other quests with messed up rewards now get the correct reward?A. Not automatically. But a work-around was installed, if you did the Stygian Lurker, Hades Generals, or Great Emperor quests, but didn't receive your reward, or lost it, you can now talk to Laches, an NPC next to the Helos portal stone. He will give you the correct reward. For more information: http://www.titanquest.net/forums/bug...very-info.html

Q. Will this patch work on the original Titan Quest game, without Immortal Throne?A. No

Q. Are you sure? Couldn't I just ignore you and try it anyway?A. Yes and yes.

Q. I tried to patch the original game, and now when I start the game the main menu is all messed up, and I can't see my character. Can you guys help me fix this?A. Reinstall

Q. I heard this patch fixes Homodos. I spent a long time farming for my Homodos. Is there a way to get this patch without the Homodos fix?A. No.

Q. Could you make the game more like Diablo 2 in the next patch?A. No.

Q. I'm afraid this patch is going to cause all sorts of problemsA. This patch was made by community members, it fixes a bunch of bugs but it is not obligatory. We don't get any profit out of creating and distributing the patch. If you don't feel comfortable around installing the patch, than don't, it'll save us a bunch of time dealing with worried 'customers'.

Q. I have installed the patch, gone to talk to Laches, then uninstalled the patch, then installed it again, then went to talk to Laches again, and he gave me the quest rewards again. I've done this 10 times now, but I don't think the rewards are stacking like I hoped they would.A. That's not really a question, is it?

The credits are written in alphabetical order. Unless noted otherwise, the names are the handles these people use at www.titanquest.net

Re: [REL] Bugfix patch 1.17

I have a lesser question to ask: you say the allskins is included so we can see players who have them, correct? can we see them when looking at their game in the server selection? also, can we see the adult skins? I would think this would be a problem for some of the younger players. ( who would probably like to see these skins anyway... )

Re: [REL] Bugfix patch 1.17

Re: [REL] Bugfix patch 1.17

gasconron: we had "still" in the bugfix list to indicate that even though it was listed as fixed in previous version, it wasn't actually fixed. I removed the "still"s from rev greaves and shaman's leggings since we removed those entries from the changelog of previous patches. Sorry about the confusion; Rev greaves DO drop now, as of 1.17.

Knivel: Uber 1.1 is not done, but the items are a part of the patch regardless. But, the items in Uber 1.0 and 1.1 are the same, so it will support both. About upgrading, simply patch your game, make a backup of your database.arz file. You can continue to use the batch file included, just name your backed up database file to database.arz.117, then edit the "restore.bat" file to point to the .117 not the .116.

Asylum: the skins are included. You should also be able to see them in the server selection. As far as the inclusion of the adult skins, they've been a part of the patch as long as the patch has been around. There's nothing we can do to stop kids from seeing naked ladies on the internet. If children are allowed to play games on the internet without their parents supervision, we can't be held responsible for all the boobs they see. Although I expect zero actual problems because of this (beyond hypothetical arguments with devil's advocates), you could ask Yerky to put a "Mature Content" warning in the OP. It's his call though.

Sandokan: the tqit.exe file included in the 1.15 patch (and grandfathered in the 1.16 patch) turned out to be just a cracked exe, and had no other changes to it that in any way related to the fanpatch. So, while we left it in 1.16 because we thought the changes might be related to the "randomization fix," we have since confirmed that it's just a cracked exe, so removed it from the patch this version. While none of us care if you play your game with or without the DVD in, it's not really our place right now to provide that. However, none of the game fixes required altering TQIT.exe, so there should be no problem if you want to use a no-dvd exe with the fanpatch.
